Heaven has a beautiful New Angel

For those of you who have been following Avery's story. You know my water broke at 28w4d. We got the labor under control and recieved the two shot of steriods. When 12 days went by we were estatic to have that many days under our belts. We had planned for our new life to be spent at the NICU watching her grow into her own little body, stomach and lungs.

Avery was born Sunday, March 29th at 8:26. She was 2lbs.14oz. and was 15 inches. She looked beautiful for a 30 week baby. Normal preemie problems but nothing that looked too bad. Her APGAR scores were 9 & 9. I had to have an emergency ceserean section because her heart rate would drop dangerously low and she was not handling the stress of labor well. That was a blessing in disquise because my placenta had abrupted and it could have had serious consequences for the both of us.

My husband and family had gone back to see her and had taken pictures and film. I had to wait til morning til I could move a little better to see her. But I could pump. Something that would be great for her when her little belly was ready. So after my pumping session and DH taking one last trip to the NICU we were going to get some rest. Not 30 minutes later our nurse came in to tell the neonatologist was being called in and our little Avery needed to be transported to a higher level NICU. Her Oxygen scores were dropping and couldn't be leveled out. At first they thought she was too unstable to transport but she was given nitrous oxide and that brought the scores up into the 90's. We were both moved to a larger hospital 20 minutes up the road. Once I was checked in we got to go to the NICU and see little Avery.

She was a sick little girl. On top of normal preemie complications she also had a very aggressive infection that made it too hard for her to fight. After hours of her oxygen being so low to nothing the doctor decided that no more medical care could be given but love could. We got to hold her and love her. She was baptized there in the NICU. We got to make molds of her feet and take her footprints and handprints. Those will be my most treasured hours in life. When it was time to let her go. She was unhooked from everything and the ventilator was taken off. We went to a private room where we good say goodbye. She looked so peaceful as she made her descent to be the most beautiful angel heaven has ever seen.

I am soo sorry for your loss! Just remember God is right there with you, no matter how it may seem, He never puts more on you than you can bear! I know you're beautiful baby girl Avery is watching you from heaven!! I will keep you and your family in my prayers! Remember lean on the Lord through all things and He will be your strength!!
